We loved staying here. It was convenient for visiting our friends. Ingrid was such a good host, she made sure I had gluten free bread and was very attentive. Ingrid haa only just taken over the property and recognises that there is work to be done. The building definitely needs air conditioning. The building was in the centre of the village and was very safe. We will definitely be returning.

À recommander

La situation est idéale, à proximité immédiate du château d'Oiron et proche de la ville de Thouars.L'accueil est vraiment sympathique et convivial, Ingrid fait tout pour qu'on se sente bien. La chambre est décorée avec recherche, tout est très propre . Le petit-déjeuner est compris dans le prix, il y a tout ce qu'il faut mais sans gaspillage. Le village est très calme, nous y avons passé une bonne nuit. Un plus, le patio aménagé avec goût donne envie de s'attarder. Le prix de la chambre est très correct.
